There is no higher proof of the in telligence of the shepherd than the ex emption of his flock from the cumcr ours ailments to which they arc sub ject under bad management, says "American Sheep Drecder." The man who so carefully watches for every in dication of disease, and thereby is en abled to head it oil, a"nd of whose flock it may be said "there is absolutely nothing the matter with them," has intelligence enough to sit in congress and make laws on a wide range of sub jects. The wise flockmastcr has his eves in evcrv Dlacc and his nostrils also for there arc few avenues by which disease more frequently ap proaches than that of polluted air. When he enters the sheep house in the morning out of the wholesome out side air and notices at once a sicken ing bheepy reck, he may be certain there is something wrong, and that he wi.i hear from it presently in a very emphatic manner. There ought to be glass windows in the sheep house, high enough up, of course, to prevent the sheep from breaking them even if they rear up; and the lower panes may be still further protected by a crossbar or two. This elevation will keep the cold air from striking the sheep directly; it will pass above them and And exit through corresponding windows on the other side. These are to be closed tight only on the most bitter cold nights. If a sudden squall arises in the night it is better that a little snow should blow in than that the air should become fetid and sick ening. Hut the entrance of the snow may be mostly prevented by wide, overhanging eaves. To provide for still, sultry weather, .sueii as happens in spring, when there is no brcc.e to blow the animal exhalations out of the building, there ought to be one or more trunks rising to the roof .vlierc a slatted cupola permits their escape. These same trunks can be utilized through which to pitch hay down from the loft to the racks below. Nor is it enougli merely to provide for the passive escape of thetc harmful exhala tions; there ought to be active meas ures taken to prevent any addition be ing made to them by means of fer menting manure. Through the winter the manure may accumulate to a con siderable depth without causing any serious detriment, especially if it U not intermingled with bedding. 15ed ding permits air to circulate through the manure and thereby promotes ferment and the escape of ammonia. Hut as the warm weather of spring comes on, there will be more or less fermentation in spite of every precau tion; and the careless farmer is made AN ANGELN COW FROM aware of its presence in his horse-sta ble oucn, we regret to say, also in his sheep-house strong enough almost to "knock a man down," as he saj's. Now, if a farmer is saluted with such a stifling odor when lie enters the sheep-house, with his nostrils elevated five or six feet above the floor, what must he suppose is the experience of the sheep which is condemned to an all-night's imprisonment in such a reek, with its nostrils only five or six inches above the floor? At his eleva tion he may hardly perceive an odor which, down where the sheep lives and breathes, is enough to sicken it and eventually kill it As soon as the sheep begin to range a little on grain feed, it is more difficult than ever to suppress these most noxious ammonia cal exhalations in the stable. If the manure has been cleaned out (as it should be) the hard earthen floor will need to ba kept constantly bedded with fine, dry bedding, or sprinkled with land-plaster or road-dust in order to aosoro inc liquid manure, wtueii is so valuable to crops but so pernicious ss a source of exhalations in a stable. The -operator anil the Cnir. Seeing various articles in different farm papers in regard to raising calves on separator milk, I think I will relate my experience along that line, says a writer in "Nebraska Farmer." I am a woman and like all the rest, "kinder queer," and could never be persuaded to sell cream, thinking I could make more from it by churning and selling the butter myself. If you arc all as strong as lions and have good custom ers and get the top price I presume you can, not counting your time and labor, but to my subject. Two years ago our creamery folks were putting in separat ors and wanted the people to sell milk, but it was hard to get out of the ruts. I thought I would try it, for I do not like to make butter in hot weather, and my health was poor, so I was the first to send my milk. I had three young calves soon after and they never had a drop of any other than separator milk after they were fifteen da-s old, and three nicer calves no farmer man can raise by letting their calves run with the cow. and last year I raised three more the same way.and if the Nebraska peo ple don't believe it, if they will come to Fairmont they may tee the calves. The first week I would put the milk in water to try to keep it sweet for them, but it was not long until I would not get my milk back until it was almost clabber cheese. 1 would poar into a bucket when it was a hard cake and the calves would drink the whey and then cat the chunks. After they are two weeks old I put a box or trough where they can reach it and put about a pint of bran, ground feed or oats, just whichever we have, and they -very soon begin to cat it and nibble hay if cold weather, or grass in summer, and they are as fat and nice as need be. The only way to make the best of a well bred pig is to crowd it from birth to maturity, studying the wants and habits, and feed in the way best calcu lated to secure the best results at the lowest cost. grgrwttltar India's Wheat Crop. The Indian government has pub lished its first general memorandum on the wheat crop of Hritish India for the season of lS'.t.l-O.. So far as can be judged from the reports sent in the area sown will in ttombay and Uerar be slightly below, in the central and northwestern provinces about equal to, and in the Punjab somewhat larger than that sown last year. In Sind, which depends on inundation over flows, the rains failed, and the floods were low and late, while in manv parts of the Hombay presidency proper an unfavorable wheat-sowing season, fol lowing on a favorable cotton-sowing season, has led to a contraction of the former in favor of the latter crop. The heavy rains of November caused con siderable delay in the Uerar sow ings, and led in the central prov inces, as did the October rains in thr northwestern provinces, to the resow ing of a certain part of the land. Tin. rains were not favorable in the south east or in the extreme west of the Punjab; but, generally speaking, the good rainfall of September last led in that province to extensive sowings, and the area under wheat is estimated to be C per cent over the large area sown last year. The condition of the early crop is reported over the greater part of Hombay to be good or fair, and a satisfactory outturn is expected in Kcrar. In the central provinces prospects are exceedingly promising, and a full harvest is anticipated. The crop in the uorlhwcstern provinces is good on the whole, and in the P un jab the outlook is at present unusual unfavorable. I'aruiliiR in Italy. Ix a sketch of agriculture in Italy, and with special reference to the crisit now prevailing there, Signor Calanti gives some particulars as to the actual state of affairs, which are of consider able interest in view of the present de pression, says "London Live Stock TournaL" He states that the area of land under cultivation is about 00,000, 000 acres, of which nearly one-fifth is in wheat, with a yield of about 11 bushels per acre, while about 5,000,000 acres are devoted to Indian corn, the yield being about 17 bushels an acre. About 500,000 acres are devoted to rice, or rather more than is sown in oats; barley and rye occupying very little space, while about two million acres arc occupied by leguminous plants. Passing over a very interesting cnu- THE LOW COI'XTRIKS OF f-CHLES liberation of the various fruits which arc grown in such large quantities throughout Italy, it may be added that, so far as the live stock is con cerned, Signor Galanti puts the total at 5,000,000 head of cattle, 0,000.000 sheep, 1, $00,000 goats, 1, MX). 000 pigs, 720,000 horses, and l,:i0(,000 mules and donkeys. 4 The value of the 12,000 tons of wooL&aken from the sheep, and of the 14ju00 tons of butter and cheese, is put at 3,130, 000, and. in concluding lrjj review of the situation, Signor Galanti recog nizes that since the definite constitu tion of the kingdom of Italy the upper classes have exhibited a great interest in agriculture, but that the number of those who take a direct and practical part in farming ,4s very limited, ab senteeism being still too firmly rooted in the habits of the large lauded pro prietors. Farmers Revicw.- 5 Ifx Swinow lTpon the Hritish Isles the wild hog was found in different sections of the couutries, and varied in size and ap pearance according to the climate and products in which they were found, living upon various roots, as well as upon the herbage, nuts, acorns and the like, says Amos F. Wood. Thev were chased and hunted down by sportsmen and used as food for man. As they became domesticated the3' were changed by crossing and selecting, ac cording to person's taste and the cli mate and products of the countries where bred. Coarser ones were im proved by crossing with the Siamese hog. which in early days was repre sented as fine lonad and rather small. Later in history, wc find in various counties of England they were breeding swine, and calling or naming them after the county where they lived, as Yorkshire, Suffolk, I.erk shire, and the like, while they by domestication have spread over nearly the whole world. The hog was not a native of America but brought here by the earliest voy agcrs.and has now multiplied through out the continent The flesh of the hog is nutritivo and wholesome, and is used in almost all climates, and through its keeping qualities seems to be suited to the warm season and countries. The color of the hog is various, black, brown, sandy and white, and a mixture of all or. any of the above colors. The Essex was originated by Lord Western of Essex county, Englanl. The native hog be ing crossed with Neapolitan, a breed imported from Italy. Afterward by selection and breeding they were im proved by Fisher Hobbs. They are a small boned, black hog, with generally an erect car, and arc distinguished by the fineness of the skin and softness of the hair, with fine grained and deli cious meat. They arc suited to take the refuse of farms and feed upon past ures, as they arc very quiet and make pork cheap and of desirable quality. Sekvia is said to export 3,000,000 worth of prunes annually from 175,000 acres. Agricultural education prevails in all her public schools, with special attention to fruit culture. Hritish Columbia sends warning that she will allow no Oregon fruit to cross the border carrying traces of worms or other insects. pit mm Investlgations Concerning Abortion. Stock-breeders will be glad to know that the Royal Agricultural society of England has arranged to investigate this plague, which in some seasons and localities causes ruinous losses to breeders and dairymen, and hitherto has not been amenable to ordinary treatment, says "North Hritish Agri culturist." A committee has been ap pointed, and fourteen questions have been circulated fairly covering the breeders' portion of the inquiry. It is recognized that the pregnant female subjected to mechanical violence Eomctimes aborts, and that the mishap is also occasionally produced by over exertion and acute indigestion. Hut the most serious spreading and recur ring attacks occur under all varieties of management and diet, at all sea sons of the year, in animals housed and at pasture, and at all periods of pregnancy. Ergot, sarin, and other a terine stimulants are quite inadequate to explain the occurrence of many out breaks, notably those where oat straw and a few roots constitute the winter feed. The epizootic and enzootic attacks arc undoubtedly of a communicable or con tagious character. Various conti nental and other experimenters have found that the discharge from the genitals of recently aborted cows or " ewes caused abor tion when introduced on pledgets of lint, or by injection into the genital passages of healthy pregnant cows, or ewes brought from situations where the mishap had never been known. That the abortion thus induced docs not result from any mechanical effect is show by the fact that the introduc tion of normal genital discharges, or of aseptic albuminous fluids, produces no injurious effects. The specific na ture of the abortion-contagion a few years ago was discovered by Professor Xocard, who found in the uterus of cows which had aborted, and in the alimentary canal of aborted fu-tuses, a distinctive organism, which, although carefully looked for, could not le dis covcrel in healthy cows, or in the di gestive organs of calves carried to their full time. These organisms arc believed to enter thc-gcnital passages, make their way into the uterus, and multiply between the ftetal envelopes, breaking up the connection between mother and offspring. Hased upon these observations, the prevcntible treatment of abortion has become more rational and successful. Affect ed subjects are disinfected, strictly iso- WIG.

Investigations 1 thus far appear to be on the right , track; the nature of tiie disease seems I to be realized, and its prevention should Iteiicc be greatly facilitated. A good deal, however, has still to be learned regarding the life history of , tnc organism. Competent investiga- j . lions should throw light upon its , origin, and explain how the first case in an outureau arises Do the organ- ' isms or their spores, it may be asked, I have an independent existence outside the animal's body? In the uterine dis charges there are normal and innocent , organisms which, under certain faulty 1 conditions of the parts, may possibly be developed into abnormal and injuri- ' 0113 organisms. Can the parturient ' discharge from a cow. which has car ried its calf to the full period, owing , to placental retention or other unto- ' ward conditions, afford suitable media for the production of the organism which caus.es abortion? Problems j such as these have to be solved before , wc can fully understand and effectively grapple with abortion. ) - - LOST most LXK.

The young peafowl feathers very rapidly, and should be fed every two hours the first month; then four times a day until three months old, when it should be given three meals, lequiringa large share of animal food, such as meat and bone. Otherwise they require the same care as young turkeys. Only the peafowl can raise them, as common hens wean them too soon.

The general principles of the lunar theory as to the weather arc thus stated by Claudius Ptolemy, ns quoted by Mr. A. J. Pearce in his "Weather Guide Book," according to Astro-Meteorology : " The moon's course is to be carefully observed at the third day before or after her conjunction with the sun (uew moon), her opposition (full moon), and her intermediate quarters; for iff she then shines thinandclear, with no otheiH phenomena about iter, she muicates se renity ; but if she appears thin and'red, and have her whole illuminated part visible, and in a stato of vibration, she portends winds from the quarter of her latitude and declination ; and if she ap pear dark or pale and thick, sho threat ens storms and showers. All halos formed around the moon should also be observed, for if there appears one only, bright and clear, and decaying by de grees, it promises cercne weather; but if two or thitv appear, tempests are in dicated ; and if thoy seem reddish and broken they threaten tempests, with violent and boisterous winds: if dark and thick thej' foreshow storms and snow ; if pale, or black and broken, tem pests with winds and snow, both ; and whenever a great number appear, storms of greater furv tire portended."

Jefca the Baptist ad Jesas Christ. John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, in their relations to one an other, are the symbols of great and eternal facts in religious truth and ex perience. These two figures and theso two lives pass before us like a beauti ful and instructive allegory. On tho one hand, wo seo starting up in the wilderness a wild, rude form, wrapped in a coarse blanket, with a countenance expressive of spiritual sadness and wearing the traces of ascotio habit. The desert resounds with his stern ac cents, and all hearts fall under his sctttcliiug and unsparing exposure of their sin. Is cot this the immemorial typo of law, and of the repeutauce with which it is commissioned to work in awakened consciences? And now this other fignro, which cornea treading in tho footsteps of tho desert preacher. On Bis faco is a most winning light. His voice is sweet and low, His food and dress ore those of other men, His way is among their homes and haunts; He gives His sanc tion to social and domestic life; he is the healer of the blind, tho leprous and the demoniac; on His lips is the word of pardon and peace; He comes to seek and to save tbat which was lost. He is more than the type, He is tho incarnate realization, of the Gospel.

A school of poor children, having rend in the Bible the denunciations against hypocrites who "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel," were afterward ex amined by n benevolent patroness as to their recollections of the chapter. " What, in particular, was the sin of the Pharisees, children ?" "Aiting camels, my lady," was the prompt reply.
